Death: Captain Millennium

"Lin Yu, wait for me here, I'll go in to see the captain." After saying that, Bayunzhai went in on his own.

"Captain Yamamoto, I have brought a little ghost that you might be interested in. It's a newly born soul whose spiritual pressure has reached the sixth level without any training."

"Let him in."

"Lin Yu, the captain wants to see you, come in quickly."

Lin Yu stepped into the captain's room of the first squad and looked at the still very young captain. He didn't look at all old as he looked a thousand years later in the comics. Just kneeling there, he gave off a sense of oppression. This spiritual pressure really made people feel uncomfortable.

There was only a "丿" on Captain Yamamoto's forehead now. It seemed that Captain Chojiro Suzuki had not appeared yet.

Chojiro Suzu, Vice Captain of the First Division, is a somewhat minor figure in Bleach. His full name is "Chushiro Suzu," and over two thousand years ago, Chojiro diligently honed his skills to become Yamamoto's deputy, and, following his instructions, successfully mastered Bankai within a month.

Later, when Yamamoto was about to inspect his achievements and asked him to try to defeat him with his Bankai, Chojiro used his newly acquired Bankai to injure the captain's forehead. This convinced the captain, who had originally had no intention of taking him in as a retainer, that Chojiro was a true servant. He was extremely loyal to Captain Yamamoto and swore to remain the vice-captain of the First Division as long as he lived.

You might say he was just a supporting character, but he was able to use his Bankai to inflict a scar on Captain Yamamoto's forehead, causing him to add the characters "Genryūsai" to his name. He even ambushed Yhwach in the First Quincy War, but was instantly killed during the Thousand Year War. It was a complete tragedy.

While Lin Yu was observing Captain Yamamoto, Yamamoto Genryusai opened his slightly closed eyes.

"He's a pretty good brat. He can remain calm under my scattered spiritual pressure. He has an innate sixth-level spiritual pressure. If he polishes it well, he has the potential to become a strong man."

"Lin Yu, right? Bayunzhai has already told me about you. Although you have a sixth-level spiritual pressure, you don't know any of the 'Zanquan Zougui' techniques that a Shinigami needs to master. If you want to become a qualified strong man, you still have a long way to go. Then you should join my 'Gen-ryu' school. I will teach you personally at the Yuan-ji Academy."

"Genji Academy? It seems the Central Spiritual Arts Academy hasn't been established yet. I'm considered one of the initial shareholders in the creation of the Gotei 13."

"Captain Yamamoto, if I accept your teachings, can I become as strong as you?"

"Lin Yu, I have to say that your idea is very bold, but it is good for young people to be bold. I will teach you everything I know. As for how far you can go in the future, it depends on yourself." It is not easy to become a strong man. Yuan Liuzhai looked at Lin Yu with sharp eyes.

"Bayunzhai, find him a shallow sword. Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach him the 'Zhan Quan Zou Gui' technique. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"Captain, we're leaving." Lin Yu and Bayunzhai walked out of the first team together.

"Lin Yu, you've just arrived at the Soul Society and have nowhere else to go. Come with me back to the Eighth Division. I'll make some arrangements for you. I'll also explain the current status of the Gotei 13 teams, as well as the basics of Zankenzouki that the captain just mentioned. These four techniques are essential for a qualified Shinigami to master."

"Thank you, Captain Bayunzhai." Although I know this from reading the comics, I still have to learn it.

Soon Lin Yu and Bayunzhai arrived at the squadron barracks of the 8th Division.

I'll now give you a brief explanation of what Zan, Quan, Zou, and Gui are. "Zan, Quan, Zou, and Gui each represent the four combat methods of the Shinigami," Bayunzhai explained carefully to Lin Yu. "'Zan' refers to attacking with weapons. The most commonly used weapon for us Shinigami is the Zanpakutō. 'Ken' is white-handed combat, or bare-handed combat. 'Zou' is Shunpo, used for quick movement and dodging enemy attacks. And 'Ghost' is more special, involving the use of Kidō. You can simply think of Kidō as a type of magic."

Lin Yu nodded as he listened. He had some understanding of these contents from the comics.

"To master these four techniques, you need constant practice and training. Especially instant step, it is the foundation of the Shinigami's battle. Only by mastering it can you respond flexibly in battle." Bayunzhai continued.

"I see." Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully, "What kind of magic is the ghost way?"

Bayunzhai smiled slightly and explained, "Kido is actually a type of magic that utilizes spiritual energy. It can be activated by chanting an incantation and has various effects. For example, attack, defense, sealing, etc. Moreover, the power of Kido increases with the spiritual pressure of the caster."

"That sounds amazing." A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

"Of course, practicing the ghost way is not easy. Not only do you need to master the correct chanting and hand gestures, but you also need sufficient spiritual power to support it. However, with your talent, I believe you will be able to learn it well." Bayunzhai encouraged.

Next, I will introduce you to some basic information about the captains of the current Gotei 13:

The captain of the first squadron and the commander-in-chief, Yamamoto Shigekuni, also known as Yama, you have already met him, so I won’t say much about him.

The captain of the second division is Chihiro Shihoin. The Shihoin family belongs to the nobility of Soul Society. At the same time, the captain of the second division also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Secret Mobile Force.

The captain of the third squad, Jinle Kazuhara, wears glasses and has a slicked-back hair. He usually looks very serious.

The captain of the fourth squad, Chigiri Shijima, had her hair tied in a ponytail and a gloomy look on her face.

The captain of the 5th Division, Oka Danjiro, is a tall, muscular man and a very cheerful person.

The captain of the Sixth Division, Saito, is an immortal, crazy woman with an eye patch and twin pigtails.

Hearing this, Lin Yu's mouth twitched.

The captain of the 7th division, Nobu Taketsuna, wears a fur coat all year round and usually looks menacing;

The captain of the 9th squad, Jiu Menjing Yantie, has a big bald head with gold teeth, like a weird uncle;

The captain of the 10th squad, Wang Tuchuan Yu Xuji, usually wears a side hat, is a handsome guy, and is very gentle to others;

Unohana Yachiryu, the captain of the 11th Division, is said to have mastered all the styles in the world and has killed countless people. Before joining the Gotei 13, she was an unprecedented villain. Stay away from her and don't let her kill you.

Captain of the 12th Division, Zenjoji Arihime, a fat man with red facial tattoos, who we don't usually interact with;

The captain of the 13th Division is Nigu Caizang. He is bald, hunchbacked, and has a creepy smile. Don't go to him unless you have something to do.

"Okay, that's the basic information about the captains of each team. You'll see more of them in the future, so get to know them slowly."

As for the secret mobile force mentioned earlier, it is an organization independent of the Thirteenth Team, and there is also the Kidōshu.

The Secret Mobile Force is composed of five divisions:

The First Squadron of the Criminal Army: Mainly responsible for executions and assassinations, it is the most violent and direct execution force among the covert mobile forces.

The Second Squad: Patrol Team: Responsible for patrolling the Pure Spirit Court and monitoring the movements of the Shinigami.

The Third Squad, the Supervisory Squad: guards the Worm's Nest, the prison in Soul Society, and is responsible for monitoring and managing imprisoned Shinigami or dangerous individuals.

The fifth squad, the Riting Team: is responsible for quickly conveying orders to various units. Unlike the Hell Butterfly, the orders conveyed by the Riting Team are all strict first-level orders.

As for the fourth team, I have never come into contact with it. I heard that it was set up to protect the nobles. If you want to know more, go ask Captain Shifengyuan yourself, although he won't tell you.

Okay, these are the basic knowledge that a god of death must master. That’s all for today.

Starting from tomorrow, the captain will teach you Zanken Zougui during the day, and I will tell you about Zanpakuto at night. This is the core of us Shinigami.

Lin Yu hummed a little tune as he returned to the dormitory assigned to him by Bayunzhai. He plopped down on the bed and rolled around like a caterpillar. He slowly reviewed his journey from the time he traveled through to the present moment: the Shinigami, the Zankenzoki, the Zanpakutō, and the familiar characters. From today on, I am one of you.

No one starts out standing in heaven, whether you, me, or the gods. From now on, I will stand above the heavens! (You said this was a classic quote from Hairspray Hand Lan Da, bullshit! Lan Da hasn't even appeared yet. Even if the king of heaven came, I, Lin Yu, would still say this.)
